I am in the portland oregon area and when I called the DEQ about a car I =
have that is powered by a 78 ford v8, they said they didn't care what I d=
id to the motor or if I replaced the motor, as long as it passed the orig=
inal vehicle test criteria when they sniffed the pipe. The only OEM requi=
rement was that if the original drivetrain had a catalytic converter, the=
n you had to still have one. In that case I was pulling off the entire in=
take & smog controls and replacing it all with an EFI/ECU system.
Fortuantely my TR6 is a 74 and doesn't have to be DEQ certified.

James, if engine is in a good state of tune, it should pass emissions wit=

without them noticing that the air pump and other crap was missing. Of co=
urse, I had a clean engine bay :)
